A Palmer Township man was treated at Easton Hospital last night after a six-car crash at 25th and Northampton streets in the township.

Police said Joseph Mihelcic, 119 Carbon St., became ill as he was driving north on 25th Street and slammed into the rear of a car which was stopped for traffic in front of him. It set off a string of rear-end crashes, which caused relatively little damage, police said.

Police said they detoured traffic around the scene for about 25 minutes after the 6:57 p.m. accident.
